Though captain Rebecca Moss was unable to
fence due to a back injury, she is confident to be back in action
next weekend. She had this to say about the evenings’
competition:

“A lot of girls lost of some really
close bouts tonight but we still were able to pull out a solid
victory in the end. For our next meet at NYU we really need to be
at the top of our game. Each person losing one or two close bouts
could be the difference between a team victory or loss. For the
next few days we are going to spend a lot of time working on
handling the pressure of really tight matches.”
